High School PLC #5 and 6- Nov. 10 & 17

Both meetings have been discussing current projects (value scales and still life drawings... which we decided to do) and the progress between our two classes... comparing results, discussing how to improve success, etc. We also discussed the logistics to have students begin their self portrait projects this week. Because this is a new project for Art I (at least the way the students will be doing it), we needed to brainstormed the steps to create it and the concerns associated with the project.

Yesterday's (Nov 17) meeting primarily focused on space issues in Sean's room. Basically, he has no room and he is now about to start painting with one of his classes (20-something students). So we discussed easels (building them), storage space, and other issues surrounding up and coming classes.
One conclusion that we have settled on is that we can not have a sculpture class in Sean's room... there is no space for it. So this will be a big issue in the next few weeks of how we are going to approach this concern. In the end, we believe that the sculpture class will be in the other art room which has it's obvious problems (i.e.- computers, no kiln).

more to come next week....
